Hi!
This is quite OT by now, but nevertheless...
Unfortunately a malicious application has a window of opportunity
(default 5 mins) to run sudo after you do. That's the point of a
normal account.
Uhm... No, from a normal account you can't sudo at all
(obviously), so there is no window of opportunity -- then again,
there is no window of opportunity if you don't sudo or wait for
sudo to time out, or set up sudoers to require you to type your
password every time. Not really a valid argument, if you ask me --
and I very rarely use sudo, anyway, only for administration things
that I can't do as a normal user (very rare circumstances).
What about
sudo -k
???
That should do the trick.
